Provenance: Private collection, Hampshire (ref. C5); purchased at Louis Taylor and Sons, Stoke-on-Trent, 23rd March 1981 (lot 265) for £2,000 hammer. Isaac Papavoine is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as a French immigrant clockmaker who became a Free Brother of the Clockmakers Company in 1687/8. The only other mention of him in the Company records is a note indicating that he was much in arrears of his subscriptions in 1705/6. Loomes mentions clocks by him signed as being made in Dukes Court, London whilst other examples inscribed Suffolk Street, London are also known. The overall design of the current lot is typical of those made for a very short period during the formative years of the 18th century. The movement and dial are very much rooted in 17th century practice with the engraving to the backplate showing a Continental influence with strapwork and grotesques more typical of Huguenot practice. The case is surmounted by a fully developed bell-top caddy with exuberant handle which combined with a square dial very much dates the clock to around 1700 and 1710- and is of a form favoured by leading London makers such as Christopher Gould and Joseph Windmills (see Barder, Richard C. The Georgian Bracket Clock 1714-1830 for an example by Gould and Dawson, Percy G.; Drover, C.B. and Parkes, D.W. Early English Clocks 484 for a burr walnut clock by Joseph Windmills of related case design).Cites Regulations Please note that this lot (lots marked with the symbol Ω in the printed catalogue) may be subject to CITES regulations when exported from the EU.

Old Clocks and Watches and their Makers as a Liveryman of the Goldsmith s Company who was established at Featherstone Buildings, Holborn, London, in 1760 then 13 Abchurch Lane from 1776; he died in 1789. The unusual shape of the dial of the current lot is reminiscent of the work of the renowned London Partnership of Allam and Clements (see Christie s sale of Important Clocks and Marine Chronometers , King Street, London 20th February 2008, lot 96).

Ω A French Louis XV Boulle Religeuse table clock case Unsigned, circa 1690, the case probably attributed to the workshop of Andre Charles Boulle With 8.75 inch arched red velvet covered dial plate applied with gilt cast mount modelled as the recumbent Chronos over a foliate infill panel to lower margin, the red stained tortoiseshell and cut brass marquetry decorated case with complex ebony moulded break-arch cornice, over arch glazed door applied with raised gilt brass leaf cast bezel to the 12 by 7.5 inch arched glazed dial aperture within continuous leafy scroll and line marquetry decorated surround flanked by pilasters with cast capitals and bases, the sides with panel upstands over cornice and conforming brass bordered break-arched windows within brass line-bordered multi-panel surround, the rear with ebonised plain arched door, on inverted breakfronted complex moulded shallow skirt base incorporating gilt brass leaf cast bun feet, 46cm (18ins) high.
